HAPPY 25TH BIRTHDAY TO OUR LOVELY CHENCHEN!!

As usual, we're celebrating with a double update!

And can I just say, BLESS CHEN'S STYLISTS FOR THIS YEAR.

FIRST HE WAS LOOKING FINE AND DANDY FOR KA-CHING AND EVERYTHING ELSE HE DID WITH EXO-CBX.

AND THEN THE GODS BLESSED US WITH THE ARRIVAL OF BLONDE CHEN.

AND HIS CURRENT LIGHT BROWN HAIRSTYLE WILL BE THE DEATH OF ME.

PAY RAISES FOR ALL OF CHEN'S STYLISTS THIS YEAR.

except for the image teaser for power. how dare they give him that horrendous bowlcut.

This year is the year of KIM JONGDAE and finally everyone is waking up to see him.

For so many years, people slept on this talented, caring, and handsome man.

Like I don't understand. DOES CHEN LOOK LIKE A PILLOW OR SOMETHING? THIS BOY HAS A JAWLINE THAT CAN CUT THROUGH WOOD.

Like I spent way too much time debating which gifs to use, because he is a visual god and I couldn't decide which facets to showcase when everything about him is actually perfection.

Dear Jongdae, I am so proud of you for persevering this year.

A lot of things happened that shouldn't have in the first half of your year as a twenty-four-year-old.

But despite how nasty people were, you managed to pick yourself back up and come back as a standout member this summer.

I just want you to know that you've always been a standout member in my eyes and my heart.

Your voice and your talent are such gifts to the world. YOU are such a precious gift to this world.

You inspire me every single day to be the best person I can possibly be, because you are just such a GOOD person through-and-through.

I can never thank you enough for how wonderful you are, but I'll try.

THANK YOU FOR BEING AN ESSENTIAL PILLAR TO EXO'S UNITY, EVEN IF PEOPLE DON'T RECOGNIZE HOW INTEGRAL YOU ARE TO THIS GROUP.

THANK YOU FOR CONTINUOUSLY IMPROVING YOUR CRAFT, THINKING ABOUT HOW YOU CAN HELP OTHERS, AND BEING SO SELFLESS.

THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS CARING ABOUT YOUR MEMBERS AND FANS WITH THAT BEAUTIFUL, PURE HEART AND SOUL OF YOURS.

THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU ARE, CHEN OF EXO.

THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU ARE, KIM JONGDAE.
